Exploit development can be an advanced penetration testing skill that takes time to master. Additionally, when on a job, pen testers often don’t have the resources to create a new exploit. Many resort to searching for and using pre-written exploits that have not been tested and must go through the timely effort of quality assurance testing in order to ensure they are secure and effective.
Core Impact users can save time by finding all the up-to-date exploits they need in one place. We provide a robust library of exploits designed to enable pen testers to safely and efficiently conduct successful penetration tests. Witten by our own internal team, you can trust they have been thoroughly tested and validated by our experts.
The universe of vulnerabilities is huge and not all of them represent the same risk for the customers. Vulnerabilities do not all have the same level of criticality. Some may be easily exploitable by a low-level user, while others may not be exploitable at all. To increase the efficiency of the attacks and the quality of the exploits provided, the Core Impact team has developed selection criteria to prioritize its analysis and implementation. We determine which exploits warrant creation based on the following questions:
What are the most critical attacks from the attacker’s perspective?
What new vulnerabilities are more likely to be exploited in real attacks?
What exploits are the most valuable for Core Impact?
Once an exploit is approved, its priority order considers the following variables:
Vulnerability Properties: CVE, disclosure date, access mechanism and privileges needed.
Target Environment Setup: OS, application prevalence, version and special configurations needed.
Value Provided to Core Impact: Customer request, usage in multiple attacks, allows the installation of an agent, etc.
Technical Cost vs. Benefit: An analysis weighing the resources needed to build an exploit with the internal and external knowledge gained in its creation.
Each one of these variables has a different weight and provides a ranking of the potential exploits to be developed. Following those criteria, the top of the list would contain, for example, a vulnerability on Windows (most popular OS) that can be exploited remotely, without authentication and that provides super user privileges.
Correspondingly, a vulnerability on an application that is rarely installed, needs special configurations, and requires User Interaction, would be at the bottom.

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of software utilizing DATAC RealWin. A remote user can send specially crafted data to TCP port 912 to trigger a stack overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
DATAC RealWin SCADA Server Login Buffer Overflow Exploit
This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of software utilizing DATAC RealWin. A remote user can send specially crafted data to TCP port 910 to trigger a stack overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
DATAC RealWin SCADA Server Remote Stack Buffer Overflow Exploit
This module exploits a buffer overflow vulnerability in RealWin SCADA Server. This vulnerability can be exploited remotely by sending a specially crafted packet to port TCP/910.
This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of software utilizing DATAC RealWin. A remote user can send specially crafted data to TCP port 910 to trigger a stack overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
Debian OpenSSL Predictable Random Number Generation Exploit
This module exploits the random number generator in Debian's OpenSSL package being predictable. This vulnerability is used to generate SSH keys and to install an agent into the target host. The exploit will generate the complete vulnerable keyspace, and will try to log as the provided user. If the user is root, the agent will have superuser capabilities.
ISC DHCPD versions 3.0.1rc12 and 3.0.1rc13 contain an exploitable buffer overflow. This exploit, abuses the buffer overflow to create a format string like vulnerability, which in turn is used to write all the agent code to a known location and then overwrite a GOT entry with a pointer to that code. The dhcpd service doesn't fork, hence, if any of the numbers which must be guessed are missed, the service will die.
Disk Pulse Server GetServerInfo Request Buffer Overflow Exploit
A vulnerability exists in the way Disk Pulse Server process a remote clients "GetServerInfo" request. The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in libpal.dll when handling network messages and can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via a specially crafted packet sent to the server. A remote user can send specially crafted data to TCP port 9120 to trigger a stack overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.

Distcc Remote Code Execution Exploit
Distcc, when not configured to restrict access to the server port, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via compilation jobs, which are executed by the server without authorization checks. This module exploits the vulnerability to install an agent.
Easy Chat Server Authentication Request Buffer Overflow Exploit
A remote user of vulnerable installations of Easy Chat Server can send a specially crafted password parameter to chat.ghp to trigger a buffer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
Easy File Management Web Server UserID Cookie Handling Buffer Overflow Exploit
This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of software utilizing Easy File Management Web Server. The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error within Easy File Management Web Server when processing HTTP GET Request. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via an overly long, specially-crafted argument passed to the affected command. Authentication is not required to exploit this vulnerability.

Easy File Sharing FTP Server PASS Buffer Overflow Exploit
This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on installations of Easy File Sharing FTP Server, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a vulnerable system. The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error with the handling of passwords. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via an overly long, specially-crafted passwords passed to the affected server. Anonymous user accepted by the ftp server is required to exploit this vulnerability.
Easy File Sharing Web Server UserID Cookie Handling Buffer Overflow Exploit
This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of software utilizing Easy File Sharing Web Server. The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error within Easy File Sharing Web Server when processing HTTP GET Request. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via an overly long, specially-crafted argument passed to the affected command. Authentication is not required to exploit this vulnerability.
